Learn the Basics of Tarot Card Readings

First Step

The first step in any tarot card reading is to pick the right deck. Many people never spend the time with the cards to find the one that speaks to them. But the most important part of any card reading be it tarot or angel cards is to tap into your intuition.

I will suggest you pick out a few cards that speak to you as you look at them in the store, then hold each deck. Close your eyes and just ask the question would you like to come home with me? This will jump start you to learn to do a psychic card reading.

Now if you have a deck already don't worry. The only difference is that you will need to spend time with your deck and build a relationship as if meeting someone for the first time.

Now that you have chosen a deck and brought it home, you're still not ready to do a tarot card reading with the deck. You must get your energies aligned. To do that is really simple, hold the deck any chance you get, sleep with it under your pillow and just study them. It's that easy.

Know the Deck

To begin a tarot card reading with deck you must understand all 78 cards. They are broken into different categories all having a different meaning. First they are broken into Major Arcana consisting of 22 of the 78 cards.

These Major Arcana describe the archetypal stages of life that we all experience. Because Major Arcana are the archetypal stages of life they show us many situations that we will be facing and the strengths and qualities that we will need to assist us in dealing with them. When drawing these cards you will also find them identifying important paths in our lives mirroring important psychological processes along with our true potential.

Samples of Major Arcana Cards



The second group is called Minor Arcana which are the other 56 cards within the deck. These 56 are divided into four sub-groups:
  • Cups
  • Wands
  • Pentacles
  • Swords

These cards similar to a deck of cards are broken into 10 numbered cards four court cards which are the:

These court cards are used to represent influential people in our lives along with aspects of ourselves. The numbered cards represent our conscious and unconscious motives and the path we are most likely to take in the future.

WANDS relate to vision and intuition, representing action, movement, energy, and growth. Which all is driven by the element fire.


PENTACLES relate to the material world known to us as the element earth it represents worldly status, financial security and physical well being.
